Delivers Flexibility and Unlimited Power of Cloud Service without Waiting for Video to Upload or Import
Menlo Park, CA. January 26, 2017—WeVideo today announced a stunning breakthrough in Cloud-based video editing with the immediate introduction of WeVideo JumpStart™. The first-of-its-kind JumpStart feature leverages exclusive technology developed by WeVideo that enables people to instantly begin editing in the Cloud using locally stored media files without waiting for the files to upload to the Cloud.
WeVideo CEO Krishna Menon said, "WeVideo JumpStart is video storytelling without compromises. Video editing products have always forced users to wait while media is imported or uploaded before they can begin creating. No more! WeVideo JumpStart eliminates the wait and is always available when inspiration strikes, with no limits. Combined with virtually unlimited Cloud-based compute power and anytime, anywhere availability on any device, WeVideo with JumpStart forever flips the script in the digital storytelling landscape."
With the new JumpStart feature, users immediately begin working with their local media in the WeVideo editor. Without any delay to import or upload, users jog through video and see an immediate preview, trim and arrange clips, add graphics, text, music, and much more. Local media sources are accessed and added to a project with a simple drag-and-drop action, exactly the same as any other media, by simply opening a folder and selecting the resource. WeVideo automatically uploads the media assets to the Cloud in the background while the user works, so files are available for use from any device in the future.
At any time, users can also simultaneously mix locally stored media with previously uploaded media on the WeVideo Cloud storage. This provides tremendous flexibility to immediately, and without waiting, combine media captured from all of a user’s devices. WeVideo combines deep video editing capability with powerful storytelling tools including green screen, screencasting, multi-track editing, effects, picture-in-picture, support for hundreds of mixed media formats and resolutions in one timeline, and much more.
WeVideo makes feature-rich, robust video editing and other tools available to almost any device because all the heavy computer processing requirements are handled in the Cloud. Users get the benefit of a world-class editing workstation, anytime, anywhere and without the expense and other burdens typical of such systems. Because WeVideo is entirely Cloud-based, there is never software to install or update.
